Yes.
I would surmise that those who torrent or download via newsgroups are the majority of those who go for the higher speed packages, the difference between the two is torrenters use upstream bandwidth as well.
Gamers don't need higher speeds, they need low ping and jitter.- Not good if torrenters are prevalent in their area due to them gobbling up the upstream bandwidth.
IMHO the ISP's have to swallow a lot of the blame for it. They gave the wrong impression to users by selling products as unlimited when there was in fact limits on it! It's all about how you look at it and marketing.
Torrenters and newsgroup downloaders should really be looking at the niche providers like Be, et al, and paying the premium for it. That will upset the newsgroup users who already pay for the quicker download from the newsgroup server.
It's a total can of worms and I cannot see how the ISP's can solve it to the satisfaction of everyone.
I could go on but I don't want to fill a whole page with a post.
